Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently commented on how the remains of North Korean troops deployed to Russia are being handled. Reports have emerged that around 100 injured North Korean soldiers are currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Russia.

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian media outlet Evocation.Info exclusively revealed a video of injured North Korean soldiers taken at a hospital on Pirogov Street in the Kursk region of Russia. The report claimed that several floors of the hospital were allocated for injured North Korean soldiers, and meals were being provided to the admitted patients.

The video showed an Asian man walking down a hallway with one arm tucked into his pocket and one pant leg rolled up. The man appeared to be dragging his feet and walking with visible difficulty.

Some individuals seemed to have more severe injuries. Among a group of people walking in a line, some East Asian men were seen limping heavily or wearing arm casts. In the video, North Korean phrases like “Yellago” were clearly audible.

Photos also included an image of a room with five beds occupied by Asian men.

The media outlet stated, “Russia is clearly using North Korean soldiers as cannon fodder, sending them to the front lines without proper training or support.” They added, “While hospitals are not military targets, it would not be surprising if it were revealed that food provided to the wounded contained poison or toxins.”

Zelenskyy also claimed that “Russia is burning the faces of deceased North Korean soldiers to conceal their identities” while releasing a related video.

The video, shared by Zelenskyy on Tuesday, showed a burning object presumed to be part of a body in a mountainous area, with the silhouette of another person standing nearby. English subtitles accompanying the video stated, “Russians try to conceal the faces of North Koreans soldiers even after their death.”

Another video showed an Asian man presumed to be a North Korean soldier waving his hand at the camera while saying, “No, no,” before moving away. Conversations in Russian were also subtitled in English, with phrases like “Tell them to wear masks” and “No one should know about this.”

Additional footage included close-ups of a soldier’s face, claimed to be a North Korean soldier stationed at the Ukrainian defensive line.

Zelenskyy used this evidence to assert that Russia is not only deploying North Korean soldiers against Ukraine’s defensive lines but also attempting to conceal the casualties.

He emphasized that North Korean soldiers are required to keep their faces covered even during training, and after engaging in combat, they burn the faces of their fallen comrades. Zelenskyy added that this practice underscores the pervasive inhumanity associated with Russia, stressing the need for sustainable peace and the importance of holding Russia accountable.

On Monday, the U.S. government revealed that North Korean troops deployed to Russia had engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces in Kursk, resulting in casualties.

Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder stated during a briefing that North Korean soldiers had participated in battles alongside Russian forces in Kursk and that indications of North Korean casualties had been observed. This marks the first official confirmation from U.S. authorities regarding North Korean troops’ involvement and casualties in combat.
